This is an interesting compound because... Just try it.

This is because when water freezes it takes on a lattice-crystal formation which traps air in between structures on a molecular level. This is why a gram of ice expands to take up more volume than a gram of water. The trapped gases ultimately increase the ices buoyancy causing it to float. Yaet.

This molecule is unique because just try it.

That's because the lattice crystal formation freezing water takes on actually leaves room for tiny air pockets, which in turn raise the overall density of the entire mass.
